What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a compromised sterile barrier, which is a potential risk but does not meet the criteria for Severe (Class II with hospitalization) or Critical (Class I). It is not a cosmetic defect, so it is not Low.
